Comment(by aronnax@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
 > Simplest then is to just list all the files as distfiles, list their
 checksums, and inform the build script to use those files (possibly
 patching it). If the data files ever change, then we can add "dist_subdir
 ${name}/${version}" but since the files haven't changed in years we can
 skip that for now.

 If I don't specify dist_subdir, will those files just be silently carried
 over from one version of the Port to another?  That is exactly the
 behavior that I want.
